A two-lane highway (one lane in each direction) has a traffic capacity (or saturated flow rate) of 1,600 vehicles/hour/lane. There was an accident happened at 8:00 am on eastbound (EB) and the traffic engineer used the road shoulder to divert traffic and thus the traffic capacity on EB reduced to 800 vehicles/hour/lane. At 8:30 am the accident was removed and the EB traffic was completely restored. Assume the traific arrival flow rate on EB was 1,000 vehicle/hour/lane. a) Draw cumulative vehicles' arrival and departure curves for the scenario described above and find the maximum number of vehicles in the queue during the 30 minutes of accident.
b) What is the maximum a vehicle waits at the incidental location?
c) Total vehicle delay resulting from the incident?

Liquid flows at steady state at a rate of 2 lb/'s through a pump, which operates to raise the elevation of the liquid 100 ft from control volume inlet to exit. the liquid specific enthalpy at the inlet is 40.09 btu/lb and at the exit is 40.94 btub. the pump requires 3 btu/s of power to operate. if kinetic energy effects are negligible and gravitational acceleration is 32.174 tt/s, the heat transfer rate associated with this steady state process is most closely 1)-2,02 btu/s from the liquid to the surroundings 2)-3.98 btu/s from the surroundings to the liquid. 3)-4.96 btu/s from the surroundings to the liquid. 4)-1.04 btu/s from the liquid to the surroundings.
